Affiliate Funds

Rutherford County Foundation

Members of the Rutherford County Foundation's 2007-2008 Board of Directors

The Rutherford County Foundation is the honored recipient of the largest, single gift ever made to an affiliate. In July 2007, the Centura/First Savings Foundation decided to terminate independent operations and transferred its assets to the Rutherford County Foundation. With these increased assets, the Rutherford County Foundation will play a significant role in assisting nonprofits and public agencies in its community.
